second wind mechanic should just be a stam bar that fills when your gliding or trotting and once you start sprinting it drains the second-wind bar.. make the mechanic useful for everyone.. not sky boxing only people please...

I disagree, because that's turning it into a completely different mechanic with effects it is not intended for.
Basically, the mechanic exists to allow for prolonged flight at high altitude, since getting up to that altitude already takes a lot of stam which would give you a lovely 10 second flight before having to go back down again. It's not intended to just give everyone at all times a free boost to their stamina, that would make it an entirely different mechanic.
It's okay (and completely normal) for there to be mechanics in a game that don't affect every part of gameplay imo. This one is meant to make high altitude flight possible and is therefore used only when flying at high altitude - that it consequently isn't useful on the ground, where you can just sit down to regain stam, is perfectly fine in my opinion.
